ATTENTIONS BEYOND REASON
Hovlns allo cil several days to blow
-
over and not particularly wishing do
J
appear cantnuKeioua at everything
done by the Government because we
j
were alike stricken with grief at the
i
early demise or a very promising
joung man of our own race wo left
our criticism of certain uncalled for
1
attcntlonsSlo our view till he had
1
been laldffaway In his narrow earthly
w
rclljtho common level and depository
of all mankind Including every mov
Ing thing abovo the earth and below
tjio waters of- the earth as well as
those In tho air Wo have reference
J to the attentions given on behalf of
Mho Govqrnmoni to our late lamented
jjjellow craftsman of tho quill Wm II
vJIulllnualea Coney tho young Hawaii-
an who nhvajs hrd duty beforo him at
i nil times nntl ajL all hazards Whatever
we may attompt to criticize wo say
to all our readers ami friends in ad
vance that we are not niorely doing It
i jibecanso wq want to nor Is It out of
any disrespect for hlra butlt is more
to show how tho Government aomo
s
times oveido things thoughtlessly pro
bably with the best of Intentions yet
it waH uncalled for ill timed out of
placoaiid Improper
In tho first place tho Government
overstepped tho bounds and outstrip
rd itself in the attempt of doing ho
mage to tho memory of our young
countryman who was called henco In
advance of his allotted time and out of
his sphere of Influence secondly tho
attentions paid Ijls memory was be
yond nil reason of propriety and
thirdly because these unusual atten
tions smacked of n play In politics
probably with the idea of showing to
tho majority of Hawalans how one of
them deemed worthy of recognition
wna respected by those In authority a
respect hardly Bhown during life but
only when death overcame such a son
of Hawaii
He was onlya prlvato of recent en
llstment in oncof our volunteer com
panies yet his whole company turaed
out strong to do him honor We con
sider this ns being unusual In military
circles What was tho reason And
then tho offering of the Dand which
Intended Slight -To Spaakar
i i
We utteily fall to seo why tho Sen
ate should make a distinction between
the President of tho Senate and the
Speaker of tho House In Its proposed
amendment to tho Houso Joint resolu
tion for tho appointment of a County
Act commission It is proposed in tho
amendment that n commission of Ave
mombors bo appointed by tho Gover
nor tho Fiesidcnt of the Scnnto to
nominate Uo and thellouse of nopro
eentatlveVto nomlnnto two to draft a
County Act to bo presented at the reg
ular session of tho Legislature Why
this distinction Now wo seo Itt It is
because Senator Crnbbo is a Republi
can and can do no wrong and Repre
sentative Beckley a Homo Ruler and
must do -wrong Isnt that so And
then again It looks as if the Repub
lican membcis want all Republicans to
ployed dirges at tho house nnd at tho composo the proposed commission and
grave This Is a distinction which no I make another allure like the last one
leaders of tho Hawaiian peoplo over re- which a man with a crockery optic
celved How did ho get it and how c0hl not see the holes In It on Na bright
was it given Is It because of his be- moonlight night Great fellows arent
Ing tho secietary of the Republican they these good nnd bright Republl
Executive Committee This latter nns whoare all more or less without
seems to be the case to our way of
thinking
When tho Into Hon R W Wlleox
died and was burled tho man who was
the recognized leader of the majority
of the Hawaiian people and who was
tho first choice of that people by elect
ing him to first represent this new
Ameilcan outpost In tho halls of Con
gress he novor got such honors be
stowed over him and in his memory
No soldiers turned out for him al
though tho band played at the cemetery
the Government making less of him
than what waB his due Of course
Dole was Governor then and the pres
ent Governor was then tho Secretary
of tho Territory The late Prince
Kunuinkea got honors bestowed upon
him at his death which were never
showered upon him during llfo Pecu
liar Isnt It the way things are dono
In theso days of Americanism At tho
death of tho lato Jas K Kaulla also
another leader of tho people when ap
plied for tho hand was positively re
fused But In the present lnstanco It
was gratuitously offered And further
wo sayoth not these instances being
doomed sufficient
Dut with regard to tho unofficial por
tion of tho obsequies wc have nothing
to crltltlzo the lodges of which tho
young man was a member It was
within their province to do all 1 o
that each and every ono of them could
do towards honoring tho memory of
their lato departed brother
There Is in this community a certain
class who do not relish to bo told tho
unvarnished truth They dont he
Hove In a spade being called a spade
And when they aro given any such
truth they then resent It unless It be
glvon In a different wdy from tho ienl
truth Such a class wo know of be
cause they are thomsolves too deprav
ed and think that everybody elso aro
liko themHolvps v
sin and cannot see the mote in tho
beam of the eyes of others This seems
1 r 4
to our comprehension to bo n sort of
narrow class legislation with a ven
geance If Crnbbo can nominate why
cannot Beckley Let either of
ofllcers nominate and if not let
each house do so from among their re
spective numbers or olso subside into
oblivion -for good and forever hold
their peace
GoodCfioice m Delegate
Three names arc being mentioned as
candidates for election as delegates to
the Republican National Convention
from the Fourth District They are A
G M Robertson the popular attorney
and politician R W l5reckons U S
District Attorney and Billy Hoogs
Of the three candidates we believe
that Alex Robettson Would make tho
best ono to represent thjs -Territory
among the Jfalnlnnd Republicans As
for Hoogs hos a nonentity and for
Breckons ho has no claim whatever
upon tho good graces of the voters of
tho Fourth He mado of himself a
failure In thddraftlng of tho now de-
funet County Act and for thnt alone
why Bhould the peoplo support bucIi an
upstart from gieut Amerlcn With
Alex Robertson tho Interests of the
country will ho perfectly safe 1 c as
far as tho Republican party hero Is
concerned tand moreover ho will lend
It tone and bo thereby much bottcred
In tho long run1
A roso by nny other nnmo smells
Just ns sweet But this community Is
at tho present tlino hnrbprjng certain
persons whoso scent Is too keen over
tho average lot nnd nrq bent on being
mischievous and tioublcsomo Somo
of these scent obscenity In tho enso of
others hut when It tomca to them
selves their houso of smell then Is en
tlioly lost to themselves unless It he1
sensuoub hi amall things Dispense
with such narrow mischief makers la
the best thing for thin community
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Senator McCnndlcsswnnts to run
cvorything Is n remark wo overheard
a Republican Houso momhor say to
others of his Ilk Of course becauso
ho Is chairman of tho Senates Finance
Committee ho wants to bo tho wholo
cheese Hes Irish dont ye know
An administrative measure was this
forenoon tabled by tho Houso on a closo
voto of It to 15 It Is the bill in ref
erence to costs of litigations with re
gard to jury fees A caucus was held
shortly after recess and Republican
members may likely bo whipped Into
lino to reconsider it this afternoon
Theros a likelihood for such a recon
sideration of the measure
At the rate tho Republican legislators
aio forcing tho pabsago of the sower
charge bill at this special session they
nre forcing an extra burden upon tho
poor property owners of tho city but
then tho poor have no business to own
any property whatovor within these
precincts Its their business ns It
will bo used us another nail to their
political coffin at tho next fall
Ono Ecnblblo proposition advanced
v
by Senator Kalauokalant yesterday
was to dofcr consideration of the Gar
bage and Sewer Chargo Bill till tho
next general Legislature It was his
Idea to govo tho peoplo of tho city a
chance to feel their way ns to how to
meet this extra expenso during the In-
1 - n
tcrlm and thereby preparo themselves
t
But no Republicans and Home Rulers
voted for tho measure an extra hard-
ship upon Honolulu residents What
cnro4tho country members for us hero
Nothing whatever so It seeds
Hon A N Kcpolkal Is now no moro
tho Territorial Treasurer his succcs
sor having been appointed by the Gov
ernor yesterday Ho now takes a Fed
eral appointment na Circuit Judge for
his homo Island Wo had felt that an
other native Hawaiian like himself
would bo appointed but the Governor
look up with an accidental haolo Ha
waiian For ourselves we nre sorry
that Kepoikal Is leaving us but probr
ably It is for his own personal benefit
and at homo Vale Kopolkal wo are
sorry to lose you but it Is a matter
wo have no control and wo cannot help
